Great is Thy Faithfulness

I had the most wonderful weekend ever. I went up to Shellharbour on Thursday night. I missed my people over there way too much. I stayed at Ashleigh's house on Thursday and Friday night and had a wonderful time with her. She makes my heart swell with gladness. There is never a dull moment when Miss Ashleigh is around. I find myself laughing harder than I ever do at home. So I am very glad that I got to see her. On Friday I was able to meet up with Grace and we were both able to catch each other up on the business of our crazy lives. It was very good to see her and so refreshing to know that she is well.

On Friday night the Shellharbour youth had a youth service and then after Brad and Daniel came back to Ashleigh's for ice cream. It was a pretty fun night all in all. But nothing compared to Saturday. Definitely the best day of the whole weekend. I spent the day at a park for the engagement party and then after went to Brad and Michelle's house. Michelle was helping me with my assignment and the three of us stayed up all night talking about all the silly things that Brad did as a kid. Oh it made me laugh.

Then on Sunday I drove up to Sydney to the city and managed to park and navigate myself from the car to Pitt Street Mall and then the Queen Victoria Building and then to Darling Harbour where I finally found my Mum and sister. Then after a short time there, we went to have family photos taken and although it took 7 hours it was so much fun. So I didn't end up leaving Sydney until 8:30, and I got home around midnight. Meaning that I accidentally slept in this morning and missed my lectures. But on the plus side I finished my assignment and presented it too and then I joined the gym!

And now that all of that is out of the way, I can focus on the title of this post. You've probably been wondering why on earth it is titled Great is Thy Faithfulness when all I have spoken about is my weekend. Well today is the 24th of September 2012, which means that it has been exactly two years since Stephen died in a car accident. So today has been a very hard day for me. The stress of multiple assignments and tiredness did of course not help in the slightest and I just had a horrible day. But one simple phone call from my best friend was able to turn my whole day around! I am so very blessed!

Of course my best friend cannot always be there for me because we are both so busy, but God is still always faithful to me. He is so good to me! Even though the pain of missing Stephen still remains and gets stronger, I know that there is a God who loves me and He is taking care of him. So no matter how bad your day is, always remember that our God is so great and mighty and nothing is impossible.

Stay blessed!
